Career
Kulesha originally won an Olympic bronze medal in the under 75 kg weight category at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2][3] She was coached by Viktor Shilay.[1] On 21 November 2016, the IOC disqualified six medal winners in weightlifting for failing doping tests at the 2012 Games, including Kulesha, who was stripped of her medal.[4]
Four days earlier, on 17 November 2016, the IOC had disqualified Kulesha from the 2008 Olympic Games and struck her results from the record for failing a drugs test in a re-analysis of her doping sample from 2008.[5]
